Lyrics[]
Pin-Pine (without announcer)[]
- These vowels have a problem, and Silent E's to blame.
- Instead of "ah", "eh", "ih", "aw", "uh", he makes them say their name.
- He's changed their sounds to A and E and I and O and U.
- With powers like that, just think about the damage he can do.
- Silent E.
- He changes cub into a cube.
- Silent E.
- He changes tub into a tube.
- He changes twin to twine, he changes can into a cane.
- And this brave man must stop him, before he strikes again.
- Police Man: Silent E! Your vowel sound attention days are over! I'm calling you off to the slammer, but of course, you have the right to remain silent! Look, a note from Silent E! It says...
- Man: I love that pin you're wearing. I'd love to have a closer look. Gee, thanks so much for sharing!
- Police Man: Well, sure, well I don't see any harm in that!
- Oh, yeah! Silent E!
- He knew that pin would be just fine.
- Silent E!
- He changed it to a pine!
- Silent E!
- A story sad but true!
- He's escaping out the window and there's nothing we can do!
- Police Man: Well, Silent E! You may have slipped out of my grasp this time, but mark my words, I'll get you yet!

Trivia[]
- The song has two variations: pin/pine and cap/cape.
- However, a 3rd variation appears in Episode 97: Moon Rope/Welcome to the Moon & Episode 118: The Emperor's New Clothes/The Hungry Coat. This version skips the intro & after the cop drags Silent E to jail, his body disappears, leaving only the E. A narrator then whispers "Silent E" and the clip ends. Because of this, it could possibly be implied that the officer has decided to put Silent E in solitary confinement to prevent himself from escaping once again.
- When the announcer says, "It's a plan, it's a plane, it's Silent E man", this is a reference to the Superman phrase "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!"
